Thanks for the generous and thoughtful comment...Hi! Thanks for the generous and thoughtful comment on my blog. I actually like long comments.<BR/><BR/>To make the turkey more moist, I have heard a couple of tricks. One is to bake the turkey on its breast for part of thetime so that the oils from the dark meat trickle down into the white. It works, but it's a hassle to flip the bird (Ha!). The other delicious trick is to blanket the top of the bird with bacon. My sister does this and her turkey is always amazing. And you can, of course, eat the bacon too, which is always nice. I mean, bacon makes just about everything taste better.Lunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13097060425174328825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735408.post-10152428358278472592007-11-27T22:24:00.000-05:002007-11-27T22:24:00.000-05:00Hey, what a nice new color scheme.

You've redecorated nicely! <BR/><BR/>The only thing I would add to your recipe for a delicious Thanksgiving meal is to not eat at your mother's house, who is cooking the turkey because she said she would, but who really ought to be still in bed on account of having the stomach flu. Then you might get home late that night only to find in the morning that you weren't feeling very good, and the weekend would take a tumble from there. <BR/><BR/>But otherwise the turkey recipe sounds great.Anne Hillwww.gnosiscafe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735408.post-67074152830414284422007-11-26T08:34:00.000-05:002007-11-26T08:34:00.000-05:00I've sampled your cooking - all I can say is YUM. ...I've sampled your cooking - all I can say is YUM. Even in a broken electric oven, with a broken oven thermometer, I believe sincerely you could create gourmet deliciousness. <BR/><BR/>The people in DC are still in love with deep fried turkeys in spite of the burned down garages. Go figure. The other popular technique is the "brined" turkey. Pickled turkey? OK ... whatever!Reya Mellickerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735408.post-30475448053331782202007-11-25T23:07:00.000-05:002007-11-25T23:07:00.000-05:00Yeah, NEVER depend on those pop up things inbedded...Yeah, NEVER depend on those pop up things inbedded in the turkey. Ours popped up when the turkey was only in the not broken oven for two hours. No, not done. <BR/>But my poor step mother went by that one year. We did attempt to eat the legs (we were trying to be polite) and then decided to put the meat in the microwave cause no one wanted to be sick.Marjiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13852369879144725339noreply@blogger.com
